Population Absorption and Regional Water Management

Abstract

America's cities cannot continue to exist as they have in the past not if the growing water-supply problem is not to outpace a solution. The author contends that the growing population stress within the large megalopolises can be re lieved by redeploying the population into new, small communities located on several available plains areas. These communities would be developed as part of a total environment and would be located with respect to one another in such a way that they would be served optimumly by existing water supplies.
